Review of Brooklyn (2015) by Nedryerson1 — 01 Mar 2016
Brooklyn is a movie that could have passed unnoticed, if it wasn’t by the award circuit nobody would know about it. Interestingly is a minimalistic movie, with a simple argument treats topics like the power of homesickness, importance of the family and seek for independence.
The problems of the film are the slowness and the cliché of the plot, making it really boring and hard to follow. There is a subtle topic, well addressed in the story; is the cyclic characteristic of the physical and psychological journey made by the protagonist, noticed in her both trips when she interacts with two other girls.
The rest is just average, including the score, the script and directing. Saoirse Ronan isn’t in her best performance, but she managed only with facial expressions to portray the evolution of her character, carrying this picture out all by herself.
